We study existence and partial regularity relative to the weighted Steiner problem in Banach spaces. We show $C^1$ regularity almost everywhere for almost minimizing sets in uniformly rotund Banach spaces whose modulus of uniform convexity…

The space Weak L^1 consists of all measurable functions on [0,1] such that q(f) = sup_{c>0} c \lambda{t : |f(t)| > c} is finite, where \lambda denotes Lebesgue measure. Let \rho be the gauge functional of the unit ball {f : q(f) \leq 1} of…

A Banach space $X$ has the $Mazur$-$Ulam$ $property$ if any isometry from the unit sphere of $X$ onto the unit sphere of any other Banach space $Y$ extends to a linear isometry of the Banach spaces $X,Y$. A Banach space $X$ is called…

A subsequence principle is obtained, characterizing Banach spaces containing $c_0$, in the spirit of the author's 1974 characterization of Banach spaces containing $\ell^1$. Definition: A sequence $(b_j)$ in a Banach space is called {\it…

In this paper, we study nonlinear embeddings between Banach spaces. More specifically, the goal of this paper is to study weaker versions of coarse and uniform embeddability, and to provide suggestive evidences that those weaker embeddings…

Using the game approach to fragmentability, we give new and simpler proofs of the following known results: (a) If the Banach space admits an equivalent Kadec norm, then its weak topology is fragmented by a metric which is stronger than the…

These notes concern the nonlinear geometry of Banach spaces, asymptotic uniform smoothness and several Banach-Saks-like properties. We study the existence of certain concentration inequalities in asymptotically uniformly smooth Banach…

One shows for Banach bundles in a certain class that having a second countable locally compact Hausdorff base space and separable fibers implies the separability of the Banach space of the all sections that vanish at infinity. In the…

We review the current state of the homogeneous Banach space problem. We then formulate several questions which arise naturally from this problem, some of which seem to be fundamental but new. We give many examples defining the bounds on the…

In the first part of the paper we study the structure of Banach spaces with a conditional spreading basis. The geometry of such spaces exhibit a striking resemblance to the geometry of James' space. Further, we show that the averaging…

We prove that if X is a separable infinite dimensional Banach space then its isomorphism class has infinite diameter with respect to the Banach-Mazur distance. One step in the proof is to show that if X is elastic then X contains an…

We study the general measures of non-compactness defined on subsets of a dual Banach space, their associated derivations and their $\omega$-iterates. We introduce the notions of convexifiable and sublinear measure of non-compactness and…

We observe that the diameter of small (in a locally uniform sense) balls in $C^{1,1}$ sub-Riemannian manifolds equals twice the radius. We also prove that, when the regularity of the structure is further lowered to $C^0$, the diameter is…

We study the problem of totally smooth renormings of Banach spaces and provide such renormings for spaces which are weakly compactly generated. We also consider renormings for $(a,B,c)$-ideals.

We prove the symmetric version of Kottman's theorem, that is to say, we demonstrate that the unit sphere of an infinite-dimensional Banach space contains an infinite subset $A$ with the property that $\|x\pm y\| > 1$ for distinct elements…

We address some open problems concerning Banach spaces of real-valued Lipschitz functions. Specifically, we prove that the diameter two properties differ from their weak-star counterparts in these spaces. In particular, we establish the…

In this paper we survey known results of characterizations of reflexive Banach spaces, which are based on convergence of usual and generalized arithmetic mean (or Ces\`aro sum), weakly compact subsets, affine sets in a Banach space or its…

The main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} The dual Banach space $X^*$ contains a linear subspace $A\subset X^*$ such that the set $A^{(1)}$ of all limits of weak$^*$ convergent bounded nets in $A$ is a proper norm-dense subset of $X^*$ if…

We consider holomorphic semicocycles on the open unit ball in a Banach space taking values in a Banach algebra. We establish criteria for a semicocycle to be linearizable, that is, cohomologically equivalent to one independent of the…

We define and study asymptotically symmetric Banach spaces (a.s.) and its variations: weakly a.s. (w.a.s.) and weakly normalized a.s. (w.n.a.s.). If X is a.s. then all spreading models of X are uniformly symmetric. We show that the converse…
